Zhang Yingquan is a recognized hero, everyone in the town admires him, the seven girls in the north of the town are also talked about as women, and Xiang Xianyun, few people mention the sixth master, after all, the righteous bandits are still bandits, don't say it!

The relationship between Zhang Yingquan and Xiang Xianyun has therefore gone to a higher level, and the short knife is a witness to his fate.

Xiang Xianyun made a painting, mentioning the words: Cangshan is like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

My brother and sister-in-law understood that it was time to prepare for the marriage of the two. There is no one in the Xiang family, so they can only ask Hua Ma to accept the elder gift and set a wedding date.

People in the mountains say that marriage is "color, fragrance, and taste", what is the explanation? The lantern is colorful, draped in red and hung with flowers, which is "color"; Burn incense to worship ancestors, this is "incense"; The "taste" is a bit cliché, and it is also the most affordable, just a big meal.

Also, strictly speaking, Xiang Xian has been "entering" Zhangjiamen for a while, and the boat will naturally go straight under the bridge, just let it be.

A few days before the wedding, the Zhang family had another happy event, sister-in-law Yuelan was happy, it has been more than two months, she didn't know at first, only felt unwell, and then met the big family invited to treat the sick Langzhong, by the way to give her the pulse, informed: no disease! Pregnant!

This is good, the corners of the eldest brother's frowning eyebrows are relaxed: "Just say it!" Oh, it's hi! That's right, it should be joy! ”

The second sister-in-law nagged Yuelan aside.

"When did you lose the seeds?"

"Do you need to ask? It's only been more than two months, you do it yourself. ”

"Didn't the eldest brother say anything?"

"Say what?"

"What's in it? If this is a wild seed in the town, see if the eldest brother doesn't strangle you? ”

"He was very happy today. urged me to go to the third brother's new house to sit down, saying that it was a warm house. ”

"People are 'dumb people eating dumplings', and they know it in their hearts. It's time to be restrained, don't sneak around anymore, watch your stomach. The second sister-in-law grimaced.

"Is it good for the second sister-in-law to be serious! People are about to get married, as the saying goes, 'In the first three months of marriage, don't eat the meat of the neighbor'. Is the second sister-in-law slanderous, otherwise? ”

"Don't bring it?"

The two sisters-in-law are just joking together.

"The third brother is happy! You know? As soon as the second sister-in-law saw Zhang Yingquan, she pointed to the word Xi, and she also recognized a lot of words at present.

"Know what?"

"Yuelan is happy, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Yingquan was embarrassed.

The wedding day is approaching, and there is a plot in the wedding script, which has not yet been decided, that is, the starting point of the bride's sedan chair.

The sedan chair was lifted out of the "Qing Qi Tower"? Never! I won't say why.

Anyway, you can't step into the east wing from the west wing, it's too child's play! No way, the world doesn't recognize this.

In the end, it was decided that the Zhan family would recognize Miss Xiang as their goddaughter, and Zhang Zhan's family would be cousins, and then they would perform a good show of kissing and kissing, of course, the bride would start from the Zhan family, and it would definitely be lively.

What do you think: one is a model of craftsmanship and an elite of later generations; One is the top brand "Qingqi", which is coveted by tens of thousands of people.

As you can imagine, it's hard to keep a low profile!

Finally enough trouble, the sedan chair out of the county is already in the afternoon, at this time into the mountain to the mountain town is the night, folk rules, do not welcome relatives at night, because bitches, fox spirits are quietly entering the door at night, don't make people laugh!

Settle down in Shili Pavilion again, which is the established itinerary.

According to the rules, the groom will carry the bride off the sedan chair, and the feet will not touch the ground. If you don't get to your mother-in-law's house and land, isn't this root in the wrong place?

In fact, Zhang Yingquan and Xiang Xianyun are both ordinary people, and they landed in the courtyard of the inn, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Who is the shopkeeper? It was the star of the craftsman, the star of the sky. Who is Miss Xiang? Poetry and painting are unique, and the literary and opera stars are orphaned.

Dinner was still early, Zhang Yingquan took Xiang Xianyun's hand: "Let's go, go to the church and have a look!" ”

"Teach ......?"

This Christian church at the entrance of the village is unpretentious, if it weren't for the cross on the roof, no one would think it was a foreign church, and it would be weird, how could this door open on the gable? Hey? How did the orientation of the house come to the side?

At this point, Bit and John are far away.

"Hah! My friend. ”

When the sedan chair passed by the entrance of the village, they recognized that the groom was the young man who could speak English.

"Would you like to have a different wedding?"

"Neither my wife nor I have been baptized."

"It doesn't matter, my child, God is omnipresent and omnipotent. Not forgotten because you have not been baptized! ”

"Alright! What should I do? ”

"Come!"

Western-style weddings are too simple, they are nothing more than the ones in later movies, and they will end after a while, which makes people feel that they are perfunctory, so that Xiang Xianyun is still in the clouds, she pulled Zhang Yingquan's sleeve and asked, "This is the end?" ”

"We are already legally married before God."

"Aren't we saluting Jesus?"

"Yes!"

"Who is God?"

"Well, yes, also by the name Yahweh, Jesus his father!"

Roll your eyes.

Old Bit took out two bronze rings and put them on the two newcomers, ordinary rings, only the small cross on them seemed to be called by God.

Little John sat in front of the organ that was so dirty that it could no longer be dirty, playing melodious and timeless music.

"There is a question that I have asked many Qing people, but I have not received a satisfactory answer." Bit looked at Zhang Yingquan.

"Please!"

Bit's Chinese is not good, stammering and gesturing, and he also sandwiches foreign words, telling a fact and a philosophical question that the Qing people themselves have not understood. This question is that Bit found out through observing the believers in the diocese that some parishioners are not unpious to God, but after they go home, they will still worship the Buddha and ancestors, and the pious attitude of kneeling to the Buddha, the Tao, and heaven and earth is no different from worshipping God.

A good preacher must first be a philosopher.

This question is difficult to explain, even in later generations, it is cutting-edge knowledge.

"Let's put it this way! Western religion has gone through two phases, starting as polytheism and gradually evolving into monotheism. Eastern religions, on the other hand, are still in the stage of polytheism. ”

"Incredible!"

"In fact, it is not accurate to say that the Qing Dynasty was founded on education, and there is an invisible religious force in today's society that controls the entire country, including the people, ideology, culture, and even the code of conduct."

"What religion, so powerful?"

"Confucian culture, you can also see it as Confucianism. Its teachings have melted into our language, our writings, our history, our thoughts, and they are so powerful that they are no longer a form, but they exist inseparably. It was born 500 years earlier than Jesus, Confucianism is also a tolerant religion, all the religions introduced to the East, have changed under the influence of Confucianism, people who believe in Confucianism, you can believe in any religion at the same time, there will be no conflict, Western religious wars, crusades, etc., in the eyes of the Qing people is incredible. ”

"Great Confucianism? Let me think about it! ”

This is why your people can accept the existence of God, worship the Buddha, and even face the Taoist Yin and Yang ancestors with devotion and so on, which is not a manifestation of polytheism, but a manifestation of the inclusive nature of Confucianism. I don't know if I made it clear? ”

"It's kind of understood, I have to observe and verify." The comparison continued: "Young man, you are much more insightful than those officials. ”

"There's one thing." Bit pointed at John, "John is my nephew, I can't teach him Qing culture, I want to ask you to teach him personally, only you can teach him at present." ”

"Are you going to the mountain town with me?"

"Is that okay? He studied chemistry, knew medical science, could see patients, and was able to support himself. ”

"Great! We can learn from each other, but there is one thing that must be explained," Zhang Yingquan emphasized: "You must not proselytize during the study period!" ”

"Why?"

"Again, the question just now, Western religion is exclusive and will cause problems, and it can only be done after it is integrated into the Qing culture."

"I see what you mean, and we promise."

"It's a deal!"

Bit stretched out his big hand and naturally shook hands!

In the wedding procession the next day, there was an extra blue-eyed, high-nosed ghost guy, all called him John, and some people joked: That's a dowry! He didn't understand it anyway.

The wedding in the mountain town is the same as the mountain down, complicated and lengthy, and there are too many exquisiteness, only eating and drinking make people happy.

Drinking and making a new house is another big and small pleasure.

Will it be okay to finish the new house? Don't even think about it, the fun is behind, that is the listening room.

There was an idler in the mountain town, who had also experienced scenes in the county in his early years, and he passed on his experience to future generations: "Do you know what is the most enjoyable thing about going to a brothel?" Ha! Voyeurism, eavesdropping. It's true! Try it if you don't believe it! ”

After returning to the room, Zhang Yingquan lifted the red head cloth covering Xiang Xianyun's head and was about to speak.

"Shh Xiang Xianyun pointed out the window.

Listening intently, there was a sound outside the window and door, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Little girl!"

"Childe, I'm here!" The door opened, and Xiaoya was standing at the door.

"You're eavesdropping too? Hold your horses! You still have a few years left in your turn. Zhang Yingquan said viciously.

The girl who has a room, of course, the fate should be done, sooner or later.

"Hee-hee!"

"Bring me my guitar!"

"Childe wants to sing?"

After a while, the guitar sounded, and the little girl snuggled up to Xiang Xianyun, her eyes blinking.

Enough of you!

…………

And your smile is like a bud waiting to be released

A wisp of your beauty drifts away to a place I can't go

…………

Extremely delicate as an embroidery needle on the ground

Outside the curtain, the plantain provokes the shower, and the knocker provokes patina

And I passed by that Jiangnan town and provoked you

In ink-splashed landscape paintings, you are hidden from the depths of ink

Azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I'm waiting for you

Cooking smoke rises thousands of miles across the river

…………

Singing wafted out of the new house, the people in the mountains had seen this new thing, and this topic was enough to chew on tomorrow's tongue.

I don't know how long I sang it, it seemed endless, and the listeners outside were hypnotized by this crying song, and gradually dispersed, and they were all tired.

I don't know when the little girl fell asleep on the new bed, her face flushed.

"Shhhh Don't wake her up. ”

"What about us?"

"Squeeze it!"

"Huh?"

“…………”

"You're bad!"

"No, don't ......"

"Ahh

Tap ......

"Shh

“……”

The red candle didn't have time to blow out, and the new bed shook gently.

One night of fish and dragon dance!
